Cyber threats waiting for the right moment

The low business season, the period of holidays and vacations is always accompanied by increased risks of cybercrime. The present is no exception. First of all, at this time cyberthreats focus on e-commerce and transactions with payment systems, as well as personal user data, access to accounts and remote connections.

The data from the Fortinet FortiGuard Labs study demonstrate a high level of training of cybercriminals, who have long been skillfully using various automated means, quickly adapting to modern protection tools and accurately scaling their attacks.

What risks do analysts identify as the most relevant:

- Phishing under the guise of fake domains and applications;
- Stealing user credentials and abusing them;
- Hacking and using vulnerabilities on e-commerce sites;
- Fake payment forms and stealing bank details through them.

If the situation with risks for users is more or less clear, then in this case the business can suffer considerable losses, both material and reputational. Therefore, we strongly recommend that the corporate segment not lose vigilance, use proven and verified latest means of protection against cyber threats, monitor the relevance of updates, do not skimp on monitoring and a team of specialists who monitor the situation inside your infrastructure.
